Sunday, July 24, 2011

Though the movie premiered last weekend, Potter Mania is still going strong here at the Yates household. I finished up John's custom carved wand display a few days ago, and we've been having a blast searching and sorting through all the Sweets flooding our inbox.

So, without further ado, here are the rest of the best of the best Potter cakes! (Oh, and if you missed the first half, click here.)

The folks at Charm City always do such awesome cakes..... I think they did my favorite wedding cake ever, the "Ghostbusters busting the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man" cake. I especially love that the castle lights up... I

I have to admit, though, that the Sorting Hat cakes *kinda* creep me out. It creeps me out in the movies too.....

Has anyone ever done an Aragog cake? That would be awesome. Scary, yes, but awesome.

really amazing cakes, as always. particularly love the cupcakes (i am such a sucker) -- they are quite well done and really get the "icons" of the movie. also love the big hp face w/ the striped scarf edge. and the all-white cake with the multi-color interior is really fantastic!

I can't believe, as a grown adult, I get all teary realizing there is no more HP. I mean, it's just as well, my oldest is just at that age where next year he prolly wouldn't want to see it, but... Still...

I am so making the house color page one day! It will happen.The last cake made me kinda sad though, it's kinda hard to see Hogwarts like that.While the topics on HP, have you seen any AVPM cakes? I doubt it, but it would be totally awesome!

The house colors cake actually looks like something I'd eat. As much as I love the Sunday Sweets, much of the time they don't look as though they'd taste good to me because I don't like icing that much. But the house colors cake--that I'd eat! :)

Have you given much thought to making your own monster book of monsters? It looks like something you could replicate with an old textbook and some fake fur. And the ability to sew, which leaves me out, lol.

I got distracted by the words "chocolate truffle," but managed to make it through the post without busting my own eardrums with my high pitched squeals of glee. Brilliant cakes and cupcakes. I'd definitely buy my next cake from these bakers.

I know HP will be around forever, but man, I'm gonna miss it all the same! We went to see the movie at midnight last Thursday - both wanting to see it right away AND wanting to hold off, so it didn't end!

I'm a die hard HP fan. I love all of the cakes. I'm very sure Dumbledore would be greatly pleased with these cakes, greatly pleased indeed. It makes me wanna cry about the series finally coming to a close.

What does it say about my Harry Potter obsession that the first thing I thought when I saw that adorable Harry Potter cake was that they got the eyes wrong?It's really cute, but really, Harry's eyes are green!

What's a Wreck?

What's a Wreck?

A Cake Wreck is any cake that is unintentionally sad, silly, creepy, inappropriate - you name it. A Wreck is not necessarily a poorly-made cake; it's simply one I find funny, for any of a number of reasons. Anyone who has ever smeared frosting on a baked good has made a Wreck at one time or another, so I'm not here to vilify decorators: Cake Wrecks is just about finding the funny in unexpected, sugar-filled places.

Where's the book?

We don’t have any copies of Cake Wrecks for sale here, autographed or otherwise. We decided the shipping and handling costs would be too high to make it worth your while. So instead, buy your copies locally or online and then order personalized bookplates: it’s cheaper, easier, and I think even looks a bit nicer.
